I ran 5 miles again

My wakeup heart rate was 55 this morning, and I felt really good during my sit ups. I ran 5 miles again on the Jordan River Parkway. I was late getting out (11:15) and the temperature was in the mid 80s (F) when I left and in the low 90s when I returned. I ran pretty slow and drank 32 ounces of water during the run. If I'd gotten out four hours earlier the temperature would have been in the 70s, but I felt OK during the run.
